I think the real concern should be that they’ll make it really easy to get on board with, until almost nobody is creating accounts directly with federated instances. Once they have enough penetration, they’ll defederate and force people to choose; them or the Fediverse.

I would rather not have Zuckerberg controlling more social platforms, but at the same time I really want Musk to crash and burn.

For me, it’s the principle that you’d be paying Reddit a bunch of money only to not have half the content on the site. I mean, I couldn’t really care less about the naked ladies because most of them are hawking OF anyway.

I’m the same. Relay is so slick and I’m gutted about what is happening. Even if the dev manages to keep Relay going, I don’t want to support a company like Reddit who seem happy to shit all over their userbase in pursuit of profit.

My only coding experience was way back in Sixth Form in the early 2000s. I love the enthusiasm that comes across from your post.

Do it for Lemmy! For the Fediverse!

Woah. I mean, that article nails his whole attitude. It’s so depressing to see what was such a great site come crashing down because of one tech-bro’s hubris.

I would argue that the default subs already suffer from a lot of those problems. What’s kept me around in Reddit is definitely the more specialist subs.
